Siege is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Svend Gade and starring Virginia Valli, Eugene O'Brien, and Mary Alden.[1] [2]
As described in a film magazine review, a strong willed woman rules over her relatives and the town with an iron hand. She is the owner of a large industrial plant. No one has ever dared to oppose her until her son Kenyon appears with his wife Frederika. The wife is a modern young woman and just as dominant a personality, and she refuses to be cowed by her mother-in-law. A misunderstanding develops, but she is reconciled to her husband, and eventually she breaks the proud spirit of the older woman.
